Actresses Voice Concerns Over Hyderabad Mobbing Incident
Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar have publicly addressed a troubling mobbing incident that occurred in Hyderabad. Both actresses, who starred in the recent film The Raja Saab, shared their experiences and called for greater respect towards celebrities.
Nidhhi Agerwal Calls It an Unfortunate Event
In an interview with India Today, Nidhhi Agerwal described the incident as unfortunate. She emphasized the seriousness of the topic, stating she did not want to comment on it casually. The actress explained she is carefully considering her words and plans to speak about it soon. I know what I want to say and how I want to say it, she noted, adding that public concern means a lot to her.
Riddhi Kumar Highlights Need for Respect and Space
Riddhi Kumar, who was also present at the Hyderabad event, expressed deep concern about actors' safety. She pointed out that while actors seek admiration from the audience, it must come with respect. Admiration has to come with respect, and with respect comes space, she said. Kumar stressed the importance of giving people space to feel comfortable, using a simple analogy: if she loves someone, she would not want them to feel uncomfortable.
The incident had a profound impact on Kumar and her family. She revealed she was right behind Nidhhi when the mobbing happened, and her parents watched it live, leaving them extremely scared. Kumar herself felt shaken and had difficulty leaving the venue initially. She urged people to be kind and mindful of personal boundaries.
Security and Public Awareness Are Key
Riddhi Kumar acknowledged that security measures matter, but she also called for the crowd to understand how crucial it is for everyone, especially women, to feel safe. She expressed relief that the issue is now being discussed more widely, leading to increased vigilance. However, Kumar emphasized that real change is necessary to prevent such incidents in the future.
